Using the Curling Iron
- Ensure your hair is clean, completely dry, and thoroughly detangled before styling.
- Divide your hair into small, manageable sections, typically about 1 inch wide.
- Open the clamp and place a section of hair between the clamp and the barrel, starting close to the roots.
- Wrap the hair evenly around the barrel, away from your face, ensuring the ends are securely held by the clamp.
- Hold the curling iron in place for a few seconds. The holding time will vary depending on your hair type and the desired tightness of the curl.
- Release the clamp and gently slide the curling iron out, allowing the curl to fall naturally.
- Repeat this process for all sections of hair.
- For a softer, more natural look, gently run your fingers through the curls after they have completely cooled.
